also if your read this
The first time you ssh to a remote machine, you will see a message similar
to the following:
The authenticity of host 'penguin.example.net' can't be established.
DSA key fingerprint is 94:68:3a:3a:bc:f3:9a:9b:01:5d:b3:07:38:e2:11:0c.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?
Type yes to continue. This will add the server to your list of known hosts
(~/.ssh/known_hosts) as seen in the following message:
Warning: Permanently added 'penguin.example.net' (RSA) to the list of
known hosts
none of this happens on this server or on the mswin pc
